Snowmass Bike Park Bike Rentals

The Roaring Fork Valley is a Gold-Level Ride Center—a distinction from the International Mountain Bike Association reserved for the world's best mountain biking destinations. New for the full summer of 2026, the Elk Camp Six-Pack chairlift means faster access to Snowmass Bike Park's 25+ miles of downhill trails and less time in line. Whether you're here to send root and rock drops or simply cruise the valley, you can't go wrong.

Let's start with the basics. What type of biking are you interested in?

NEW: 3-Day BIke Rental Pack allows you to stack three days on an a downhill rig for as low as $100 a day—pay once, pick up when you're ready. Starting at $300.

Mountain Biking

Lighter than downhill bikes, mountain bikes will save you some extra work while you're climbing uphill between downhill sections, allowing you to get more out of your day and your legs!

Mountain bikes are not intended for use in Snowmass Bike Park and pads are NOT included. If you're planning a day at the bike park, you may be looking for a Downhill Bike Rental instead.
